Why “oblatration” is a great word
OBLATRATION — [Noun] The act of barking at or railing against a person or thing. From the Latin oblātrātio, from oblātrāre ("to bark at, to rail against"), from ob- ("against, at") + lātrāre ("to bark, to rant"). Unlike invective, a sharpened dart of abuse, or diatribe, a sustained and structured harangue, oblatration is the persistent, percussive noise of complaint itself. It is the frantic yapping of a terrier at a passing truck, the unmodulated fury of a talk-radio caller, and the ceaseless static of online grievance—a fury so insistent it forgets its object, becoming the pure, adversarial sound of existence pushing back.
